Call for symposium proposals
The Local Organizing Committee of the International Congress of Comparative Physiology andBiochemistry 2019 is actively working to organize an exciting meeting in Ottawa! It is with great pleasurethat we now invite you to submit symposium proposals for the 10th ICCPB. Please refer to the following
guidelines when preparing your proposals:
1. Each member society of the International Association of Comparative Physiology andBiochemistry (IACPB) may propose up to 5 symposia.
2. Non-member societies are also encouraged to submit proposals and to join the Association.
Individuals may submit proposals directly to the ICCPB.
3. Symposia will be allotted 2 h 30 min each.
4. In keeping with the Association’s goal of bringing together international researchers, multipleorganizers from different countries are recommended. Please consider a broad international
contribution to each symposium.
5. Symposia should feature four to five invited speakers in addition to speakers that will beselected from submitted abstracts.
6. Each symposium should include a mix of established and early career researchers.
7. Proposal format:
a. Symposium title
b. Organizers (names, titles, affiliations, e-mails, phone)c. A 300-word synopsis describing the symposium objectives and how it will contribute to
the meeting.
d. A tentative list of speakers (names, affiliations, e-mails) and tentative talk title/subject
for each speaker. At this stage, the list of invited speakers does not need to be complete
and confirmation of attendance from speakers is not required.
8. To ensure fair coverage across the wide selection of specialties within our member societies,
and to avoid redundancies, some of the proposed symposia will not be selected or may be only
partly accommodated by combining them with others.
9. We encourage symposium organizers to feature a range of approaches, covering the generaltheme of the congress: mechanisms and evolutionary processes.

10. The above information should be e-mailed as an attached file (one page per symposium in .doc,.rtf, or .pdf format) to the address given below.
11. The deadline for proposal submission is January 15th 2018.
.
Please note that the IACPB does not have regular sources of income and the participating societies do
not provide financial contributions to IACPB. Therefore, the IACPB does not, as a rule, offer fee waivers
to session organizers. Instead, it is expected that the individual symposia will receive support directlyfrom their societies. Should the conference result in a net positive revenue after we have met all of ourcosts and financial commitments, travel grants will be offered out of this surplus. However, this cannot
be guaranteed at the present time.
We also welcome proposals for plenary lecture speakers. The proposal should include the name of thespeaker, their contact information, the tentative subject of their talk, and a short justification of thenomination.

We look forward to receiving your proposals and hosting you in Ottawa!
